A record high PCE of up to 3.2% demonstrates that the efficiency hybrid solar cells (HSCs) can be boosted by utilizing a unique mono-aniline end group PSBTBT-NH2 as strong anchor attach CdTe nanocrystal surfaces and simultaneously exploiting benzene–1,3-dithiol solvent–vapor annealing improve charge separation at donor/acceptor interface, which leads efficient transportation in HSCs.
